Hi sudheer,
There is no direst Fm fro that.
But u can follw the below way. it worked for me. kindly chk it.
[code]DATA: V_DATE_IN(10) TYPE C,
V_DATE_SAP TYPE SY-DATUM.
V_DATE_IN = '01.01.2005.'.
CONCATENATE V_DATE_IN+6(4) "<--for Year
V_DATE_IN+3(2) "<--for month
V_DATE_IN+0(2) "<--for Day
INTO V_DATE_SAP.
now V_DATE_SAP will have value like 20060101.

Date format in ALV report

Hi all,
I want to change date format in ALV list that is displayed in wrong format.
I use this piece of code:
CALL METHOD r_alv_grid->set_table_for_first_display
    EXPORTING
      i_structure_name = 'ZSTANJEKOMISIONARA'
      is_layout        = gs_layout
    CHANGING
      it_outtab        = it_stanja
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS           = 4.
Problematic field of structure ZSTANJEKOMISIONARA is defined like this:
VRIJEDI_DO     ZEVO_VRIJEDI_DO     DATS     8
Now, date is displayed like this: 09.20.3009 insted it should be like this: 30.09.2009.
How can I change this? Thanks.

The data is internally stored in an external format. Go back to the program that filled this field, there is something missing there.
Look at FM like
- CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERN_FORMAT
- CONVERSION_EXIT_PDATE_INPUT
You only keep date in external format when filling a BDC, for most other input mode (BAPI and the like) data must be converted to internal format.

Please help me ont this.
Thanks

Hi,
In Prompt:
Try using EVALUATE function.
Eg: Evaluate('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' as character(30),"D5.Times"."Day Date",'DD-MON-YYYY')
Report level:
Try this in the column formula-
Evaluate('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' as character(30),"D5.Times"."Day Date",'MM/DD/YYYY')
(or)
EVALUATE('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' AS CHARACTER ( 30 ), "Dim- Date".Start Date, 'MON-YY')

How to change date format in OBIEE

Hello
I have a need to change the date column to a varchar column in OBIEE..
The date column stores data in the format of 'YYYY/MM/DD', I need to change this to a varchar column with this format 'YYYYMM'..
Since I am pointing directly at the transactional database, I can't make any changes at the database level, so I will have to do it in OBIEE layer, any ideas how it could be done?
Many thanks in advance!

How to change date format in BR?

Hi all!
Does anybody know how to change date format in BR?
I created global variable with type DateAsNumber and usage type run-time promt and used it in BR
Then I launched a BR on the form and chose necessary date. Date stored in MM/DD/YYYY format, but I need DD/MM/YYYY.
I tried to change format through Planning but then I recieved uncorect result(for instance, I selected 4(April)/14/2009 but it was stored as 4/02/2010)

Hi,
the date is always stored the same in Essbase. I think it's YYYYMMDD.
You can change the format you enter the date in webforms and business rules by changing your planning application settings (Preferences->Display Options).
Cheers.

NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'dd-mm-yyyy'
You could also change the database date format :

Change Date Format in MSDS report

SAP EHS expert:

DD format when printing MSDS in Chinese.The Generation Variant setting is MM.DD.YYYY because most of time we print that MSDS in English.
Does any one know how to do it?
Thanks

Changing Date Format in ALV List for VKM1 transaction

Hi All,
I have to change date format to MM/DD/YY in the ALV list display of VKM1 transaction. There are user exits available.
I am trying to use EDIT_MASK option of the field catalog.. Without changing the code, I give value as __:__:__ or MM/DD/YY in the EDIT_MASK field of the fieldcatalog during DEBUG. Just before the RESUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY is called.. but it is NOT showing any change in the display.
Please advice any alternate way to do the same.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
If u`ve access to User parameters, try tcode SU01 and give ur user name in the first parameter. Navigate to the defaults tab and you can find options for Date display and decimals display. Now identify the date format to your liking and change the same. From the next logon in ur user name, changes are reflected on your reports.
Reward points if my answer is worthfull.

How to change Data Format

I'm using Sql Developer vers. 1.1.2. for Oracle 8.1.7 and I can't change Data Format. Even if first I run "alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD/MM/YYYY';" and after I run "select data_field from table;" in the SQL Worksheet, it goes on reporting the field in format "MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS". It seems to me as if the "alter session" doesn't work.
I've got a problem with decimal separator too. I mean when I run "select salary_field from table;" and the item is for example 2300,32 the report gets null column even if I've set Decimal Separator to "," from Tools>NSL Parameters>Decimal Separator.
I need help.
Thanks in advance
Marco

Marco,
It isn't really a great help, as you need to access 8.1.7, but the current version doesn't have this problem - it uses the current NLS_DATE_FORMAT setting to format the date, regardless of the NLS preferences.
I have vague memories (1.1.2 has largely faded from my memory) that when they first introduced the NLS preferences that they took precedence over the DB NLS settings (ie date formatted in SQL Developer based on NLS preferences).
On the decimal separator, I have other vague memories of problems if you didn't set both the Decimal and Group separator, although a quick search on the forum didn't highlight something that seemed the same as your problem. After logging on (ie with the NLS preferences as the DB NLS settings), what do you get if you the NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS parameter in the NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS view? This should have two characters - the first one being the decimal separator and the second being the group separator.

How to Change Date Format in the Title of the report.

Hi Everyone,
I want to change the Format of the Date in the title(Query run Date)taken by report through the variable "&Date" .
The Format available is DD-MON-YY
Desired Format is DD-MON-YYYY.
Please let me know the same as early as possible.

Hi NP,
What I try to do is to reformat the default &date inserted into the Title for Discovere Plus and Viewer. When you edit the Title for the report, you can select the date from the Insert dropdown list to display the date when the report was run. The Date (shown &Date in the Title) has a default format of DD-MON-YY. As I have other date parameters displyed in the Title that have the format of DD-MON-YYYY specified by the user, I want to have the &Data in the same format. Please advise me how to achieve this.
Thank yiou very much,
J.K.
